The Day That Wasn't

The Day That Wasn't

Take a look around the world,
you find people staring at him.
He thought he was special,
or was it mere coincidence.

People shrug their shoulders
as they walk past him.
He looks with curious eyes,
if he could recognize any.

Stranger was he in the land unknown,
searching for familiar faces.
So close yet so far was he,
so complicated to find thy identity.

Every smile turned down,
Every outstretched arm withdrawn.
Was it a sin being a stranger,
was it just too early to decide.

Time just slips away,
when we care less for ourselves.
A heart felt warm,
when a smile is being accepted.

A smile grown with each passing day,
that leadth to speak a word.
The words knit so neatly together,
to strike a chord of humanity.

He's no longer a stranger anymore,
lest he forgets to smile.
Living in the present, never to look back at,
the day that wasn't.
